Hi,
Google wasn't my friend here. I managed to install packages with the
--category and --packages option of setup.exe. I didn't find out how
to install sources.
Thanks
Al

There is a second cygwin setup skripting question.
When I open the shell for the first time, the user directory is
created. Is there a trigger to reach this without manually opening a
login shell?
I tried to open the shell from within a .bat script to trigger the
user directory generation.
P:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -
It blocked the batch script and took no additional --exec paramteter
to exit on it's own.

The check is in '/etc/profile'. It's just checking if "$HOME" exists.

Thank you, that's it. I try what's happen if I source /etc/profile
from a non login shell bash skript.

As there is no answer I assume it is not possible to install source
packages with setup.exe from the windows commandline. So I was looking
for an official way to install source packages from within Cygwin.
Most hits point to a tool called "apt-cyg".
http://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/
This is a good example as the blind cygwin user is know to this list:
http://superuser.com/questions/40545/upgrading-and-installing-packages-through-the-cygwin-command-line
Still apt-cyg doesn't seem the official approach as it hosted on google.
I plan to fetch source packages by simple use of wget if there isn't a
more official and specific way.

This does the trick from a batch script:
P:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "source /etc/profile"
